Fiction
The year is 1929, and newlyweds George and Serena Pemberton
travel from Boston to the North Carolina mountains where
they plan to create a timber empire. Although George has
already lived in the camp long enough to father an
illegitimate child, Serena is new to the mountains -- but
she soon shows herself to be the equal of any man,
overseeing crews, hunting rattle-snakes, even saving her
husband's life in the wilderness. Together this lord and
lady of the woodlands ruthlessly kill or vanquish all who
fall out of favor. Yet when Serena learns that she will
never bear a child, she sets out to murder the son George
fathered without her. Mother and child begin a struggle for
their lives, and when Serena suspects George is protecting
his illegitimate family, the Pembertons' intense,
passionate marriage starts to unravel as the story moves
toward its shocking reckoning.
Rash's masterful balance of violence and beauty yields a
riveting novel that, at its core, tells of love both
honored and betrayed.
